# Plugin Marketplace
## Overview
The Vultisig Plugin Marketplace is a marketplace for self-custodial automation. Install plugins to automate your crypto management — from fixed workflows like DCA and scheduled payments, to autonomous AI Agents that make decisions based on market conditions — all without giving up custody of your funds.
Unlike traditional automation that requires handing over your keys, Vultisig plugins use MPC technology to keep you in control. Your vault executes automations securely — no third parties, no smart contract risks, no seed phrase exposure.
The Marketplace supports two types of automation:
| | Plugins | AI Agents |
| ---------------- | ----------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **What they do** | Fixed, repeatable workflows on a schedule | Autonomous strategies that react to conditions |
| **Triggers** | Time-based (every Monday, every 4 hours) | Event-based (price drops 5%, portfolio drifts, arb opportunity) |
| **Logic** | Configurable parameters within a fixed strategy | Condition-based strategies with flexible triggers |
| **Setup** | Browse, install, configure rules | Browse, install, define conditions and limits |
| **Examples** | DCA, recurring payments, scheduled swaps | Rebalancing bot, trend follower, cross-chain arbitrage |
Both share the same MPC architecture — the Verifier validates every transaction before signing, ensuring nothing outside your rules gets executed.
Browse plugins and agents at [apps.vultisig.com](https://apps.vultisig.com). Developers can build and publish their own — see the [Developer Documentation](https://docs.vultisig.com/developer-docs/marketplace) for details.

## How It Works
Vultisig plugins use a **proposing/validating architecture** that keeps you in control through every step.
### Setup & Installation
Installing a plugin creates a secure connection between your vault and the plugin's automation service. Here's what happens:
**Step 1: Browse & Select**
Visit [apps.vultisig.com](https://apps.vultisig.com), connect your Vultisig vault, and choose a plugin.
**Step 2: Install the Plugin**
Approve the installation to connect your vault to the plugin. This creates a secure link between your vault and the plugin's Verifier service:
| What Changes | Before Installation | After Installation |
| ------------------- | ------------------------- | --------------------------------- |
| **Signing parties** | Your device + Vultisigner | Your device + Plugin Verifier |
| **Who can propose** | Only you | Plugin (within your rules) |
| **Who validates** | — | Verifier checks every transaction |
{% hint style="info" %}
**Technical note:** Under the hood, installation performs a "reshare"—your vault's signing arrangement is reconfigured so the plugin's Verifier can participate in signing, but ONLY for transactions you authorize.
{% endhint %}
**Step 3: Configure Your Rules**
Now set your automation parameters:
* Which assets to use
* How much per transaction (amount limits)
* How often (schedule/frequency)
* Where to send (recipient addresses)
**Step 4: Automation Goes Live**
Your automation policy is now active. The plugin can propose transactions within your configured limits, and the Verifier ensures nothing outside your rules ever gets signed.
### Execution Flow
Once installed, your automation runs automatically:
| Step | What Happens |
| ---------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **1. Trigger** | Scheduler triggers based on your rules (e.g., "every Monday at 9am") |
| **2. Propose** | Plugin creates an unsigned transaction matching your policy |
| **3. Validate** | Verifier checks the transaction against your exact rules |
| **4. Sign** | MPC signs only if validation passes—keys never leave your devices |
| **5. Broadcast** | Signed transaction is sent to the blockchain |
{% hint style="info" %}
**Security guarantee:** The Verifier rejects any transaction that doesn't match your configured rules exactly. If a plugin tries to send more than you authorized, to a different address, or at the wrong time—it gets blocked.
{% endhint %}

## Available Plugins
Current plugins available at [apps.vultisig.com](https://apps.vultisig.com):
### Recurring Swaps (DCA)
Automate dollar-cost averaging into any asset. Convert one token to another on a schedule you define.
**Use cases:**
* Weekly Bitcoin accumulation
* Monthly portfolio rebalancing
* Gradual position building
### Recurring Sends
Schedule automatic payments to any address. Set up payroll, subscriptions, or regular transfers.
**Use cases:**
* Payroll automation
* Subscription payments
* Regular savings transfers
### AI Agents
AI Agents are plugins with more autonomy. Instead of running on a fixed schedule, they monitor conditions and act when triggers are met — rebalancing when your portfolio drifts, buying dips when prices drop, or capturing arbitrage opportunities across chains.
They use the same Marketplace infrastructure as standard plugins — same installation flow, same Verifier validation, same MPC signing. The difference is in what triggers them and how much flexibility they have in deciding what to execute.
**How they differ from standard plugins:**
* **Reactive triggers** — respond to price movements, portfolio drift, on-chain events (not just schedules)
* **Strategy flexibility** — developers define the decision logic, not just parameters
* **Continuous monitoring** — agents watch conditions in real time and act when thresholds are met
**Use cases:**
* Portfolio rebalancing when allocations drift beyond a threshold
* Buying the dip — accumulate an asset when it drops by a set percentage
* Cross-chain arbitrage between DEXs
* Trend-following strategies based on price momentum
{% hint style="info" %}
AI Agents share the same security model as plugins. The Verifier enforces your configured limits on every transaction — agents cannot exceed your rules, regardless of their strategy logic.

## FAQ
### General
What happens if I run out of funds?
The automation simply skips that execution. No failed transactions, no wasted gas. The scheduler will try again at the next scheduled time. You'll see a notification in the app.
Can I cancel or pause an automation?
Yes. You can pause, modify, or delete any automation at any time from apps.vultisig.com. Changes take effect immediately.
What chains are supported?
The Marketplace supports all chains that Vultisig supports, including:
* EVM chains (Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, Base, Optimism, Avalanche, BSC)
* Bitcoin
* Solana
* THORChain
* And more
Each plugin specifies which chains it supports.
Do I need to keep my devices online?
No. Once you've set up an automation, it runs on Vultisig's infrastructure. Your devices only need to be online for the initial setup and any changes.
### Security
Can a plugin drain my wallet?
No. Plugins can only execute transactions that match your configured rules exactly. The Verifier service validates every transaction before MPC signing. If a plugin tries to send more than you authorized or to a different address, the transaction is rejected.
What if Vultisig's servers go down?
Your funds remain safe in your vault. Automations would pause until service is restored. You can always access your funds directly through the Vultisig app—the Marketplace is an optional feature.
How are plugins reviewed?
All plugins go through a security review before listing. We check:
* Code quality and security practices
* Transaction logic matches declared functionality
* No hidden fees or unexpected behaviors
* Proper error handling
Plugins are assigned risk ratings (Low/Medium/High) based on their complexity and permissions.
Is my seed phrase ever exposed?
No. Vultisig is seedless by design. There's no seed phrase to expose. The MPC architecture means your private key is never reconstructed—not even during signing.
### Fees
What fees do I pay?
You pay two types of fees:
1. **Plugin fees** — Set by the developer (shown before installation)
2. **Network fees** — Standard blockchain gas fees for each transaction
There are no hidden Vultisig platform fees.
How do subscription fees work?
If a plugin uses subscription pricing, the fee is collected automatically at the start of each billing period. You can cancel anytime—you'll retain access until the current period ends.
